Abstract
The formula of the Generalized Ambiguity Function (GAF) of passive bistatic SAR system using the non-cooperative illuminators which transmit PSK modulating signals is derived to analyze the spatial resolution of the system. The average GAF is introduced to remove the effect of particular sequence of symbols on resolution because the particular sequence of symbols is usually unpredictable before being received. The influence of the waveform parameters of the PSK modulating signals, such as length of the symbol sequence and roll-off factor, on spatial resolution is investigated by numerical simulation. It is confirmed that the influence of the length of the symbol sequence and roll-off factor is very slight but still exists.
